What is Shiatsu Massage?



The Therapist Select Shiatsu I Massaging Cushion with Heat provides a strong, kneading, circular shiatsu-style massage for the back and shoulders. Shiatsu (from Japanese shi meaning finger and atsu meaning pressure) is a traditional massage therapy that originated in Japan. Shiatsu practitioners apply pressure to particular sections of the body for the purpose of correcting imbalances and for maintaining and promoting health.

Shiatsu is traditionally believed to prevent illnesses promote recovery by stimulating the immune system and the body's other natural healing powers. Shiatsu treats the body as a whole, with the goal of restoring the natural harmony of your body systems and your emotions.

Four Great Features for a Perfect Massage
The Therapist Select Shiatsu I Massaging Cushion with Heat has everything you want in a massage cushion. After just one use of each of the cushion's luxurious functions, you won't know how you ever lived without it.

Exclusive shiatsu shoulder massage: This cushion features a mechanism that allows you to use the cushion to massage just your shoulders. After a day of staring at the computer or a night of tossing and turning, just adjust the shoulder height position with the touch of a button and experience the relaxation that only a deep shoulder massage can bring.

Moving dual massage mechanism for the back: What could be better than a massage? Two massages, that's what! Get it all with the Therapist Select Shiatsu I Massaging Cushion with Heat. Two mechanisms travel up and down your back to provide two massaging styles--shiatsu and rolling massage.

Quick heat: We all know that heat can really help our muscles relax, and that relaxed muscles make for the most productive massages. With the Therapist Select Shiatsu I Massaging Cushion with Heat, you can warm up your back and shoulder muscles in under one minute to get the best massage possible.

Easily fits most chairs: The Therapist Select's integrated strapping system transforms any ordinary chair into an incredible massage chair. The cushion has real massage chair technology so you can explore the benefits of shiatsu massage at home or in the office.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3CLSFF1WMPWW6 This is my first attempt at doing an Amazon video review for a product I have purchased. Today I will be reviewing a total of 3 Homedics massage products. This one in particular is the Homedics SBM-500H Therapist Select Shiatsu One Massaging Cushion w/ Heat.

I particularyly enjoy this product because it covers both back and shoulder areas and the rollers for me go all the way down my lower back and the shoulder rollers hit my traps just right (after lowering it to the max)

Pros: Everything about this product I love!

Cons: Shoulder rollers have to be adjusted all the way down for me to use it (I'm 5'6" in height).
SUPERB!!

This is the third massage item I bought with the Homedics brand. Impressive! As a very serious exercise enthusiast this machine has the unusual power to calm and restore even the most fatigued muscles. Now two months with the product, I found my recovery time has dramatically improved as well.

The massager works the back and shoulders and their various pressure points with a "deep tissue" style. This is serious massage- and excellent at that!!

Strong 5 stars.
Finally a massage for me

I have evaluated a couple of Homedics Massaging cusions and feel this one is the best. Being tall, the shoulder massage section gets right into my shoulder blades and above. The friction alone gives off heat and is very soothing. Earlier massagers tended to be a littl harsh since they did not give much if you had a smaller cushion or hard back chair you were sitting in. This massager has balls that flex a little when pressure is added, so, there is much less of a tendency to feel a little like you may get some bruising.

Homedics really did its homework with this little gem. A great gift for those you know who need more than an occassional massage or just a great gift to give yourself. I recommend this to my friends. Great job Homedics.
This product is awesome. How do they do it?

I have now bought this for me and 3 others. This massage chair pays for itself in 2 days. Quite honestly, how do they produce a shiatsu massage with so much amazing power and so much like the real thing? The heating element is just right. It is not too hot but you can feel it. The options are perfect. You can do a lighter rolling massage or the deep tissue shiatsu and you can stop the massage in an area that really needs extra help and then go back to full back, upper back or lower back. The shoulder option is really for taller people and that needs to be addressed at some point by the manufacturer, but this chair is by far and away the best purchase I have made in a long time and I have a new Mac, Wii, Powershot and assorted goodies that do not come close to this in terms of letting the tension go and feeling de-stressed after 15 minutes to half an hour. I would not get this for my 90 year old dad, but if you are 20-70 and not in terrible shape, then go for it.
does NOT miss the upper back (contrary to other review)

Reviewer: Purusha, Los Angeles
This chair is EXCELLENT - covers the whole back, and one person here posted they tried it in the store and it didnt get the area between the shoulder blades. Clearly they didnt realize that the rollers are height adjustable with just a push of the remote, they go from below the shoulder blade to the neck area in adjustment. So it really does get every area. the kneading motion is very very effective, this is a top massage product from all the ones I tested.
